I will start by saying yes i have searched.. my car had this issues before due to bad crankcase breather set up.. The car has very good compression and is running a hx35 at 28psi with cams and all supporting mods. I have a new pcv valve and a check valve inline between the intake manifold and the valve cover. The other breather line goes to a catch can that then is routed to the intake to pull the pressure out of the valve cover . I popped my dipstick again tonight.. What are my options now? Run both valve cover lines to a single catch can to the intake? The head gasket is good and the head work was done correct on this motor so its not due to blow bye.
 
I have the catch can ran to the intake so it is pulling the pressure out of the valve cover already. How can i do more breather.
 
That's what im thinking.. i have already done all the common stuff to try to fix the issue but still popping the dipstick and it is a new dipstick too. Now should the dual AN lines be ran to a breather set up catch can or still ran to the intake pipe to try to pull out the vacuum instead of let it vent by its own pressure.

I would look into one of Calan catch cans. That's what I run and haven't had a single problem. If welding fittings in look into the laser cut valve cover baffles. From personal experience I will buy a valve cover ready to go before doing on my own. The machine shop in my area charged me 125 bucks to weld on 2 fittings.
 
That's a steep price.. Now were to find a valve cover with the fitting's already welded. Is it worth trying running the other valve cover live to a catch can too or am i just to the point were welding in -10an fitting's is only option.
